we've got something really cool this has been under wraps and under development
at ASUS for 11 months already and it's
not even released yet we're looking at probably sometime later this year 2013
you guys are going to be able to get your hands on your very own Raider
Express welcome to lonus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year
is powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our
trusted storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted netor working
partner is
linkis this is a storage solution from ASUS which officially puts them in more
categories than I think anyone else in the Entire Computer component business
but they are very very serious about the way that they're entering this category
I mean look at the way ASUS did networking where they came in you know
couple products and then boom all of a sudden ASUS Routers are all over the
place we might see the same thing here this is a PC Express 4X card we're not
able to talk about what kind of a controller it's using we're not able to
talk about what kind of flash it's using I'm not even allowed to show you the back but what I am allowed to tell you
is that this is going to look sweet with your R board and what I'm also allowed
to tell you is that ASUS has taken 11 months to release this guy not only
because they care about the performance any Rog product performs this is a given
we already like I shouldn't even be saying this you guys know this already RG project product performs but this is
all about compatibility and interoperability it is bootable it is
fast so that's all good it'll also work so they validated with every active ASUS
chipset so it'll work on an ASUS board they're going to just say yes buy ASUS
board put this in it yay thumbs up if you buy an R board it'll look sweet but
you know you buy another board it'll still perform awesome in fact if you buy
even a other more completely different board from another manufacturer they're
validating that too so these are some of the issues that people had in the past
with these PCI Express based SSD Storage
Solutions mistakes made by other companies are to the benefit of someone
like ASUS because they can take that and go look we're not going to do it that
way we're going to fix it I for one I'm extremely excited about this because
frankly there's not that much stuff that you can put in a PCI Express slot I
consider myself kind of ridiculous as far as my computer goes I've got a dual
slot graphics card dual GPU which is enough for me I got my sound card my
Ballin essence zents or Zonar zents rather and then I've got a raid card so
this would be instead of a raid card attached to a bunch of ssds I could have
a raid card SSD thing going on in that slot and other than that I mean what
else can you really put in there capture card maybe I got a capture card so now
we're going to have more options and because of that PCI Express 4X connector
we're moving beyond the bottleneck of SATA 36 gbit per second it's not fast
enough already and in another quarter from now when this guy sees the light of
day it's going to be even not fast enough ER so PCI Express here we go
thanks for checking out this video and don't forget to subscribe make sure you catch all of our CES 2013 coverage and
we're going to amend this to the end there's actually a couple cool overlays
so you can overlay your own Crosshair and I'm afraid I actually don't know how
to do it but uh probably something to do with this game there you go aim point
for practice mode and you can overlay a timer for yourself so if you have say
you're an RTS player and you're like oh yeah I got to go check back on that
expansion base in 45 seconds you got your startup order you got it
you set up your timer that way you're able to check it and monitor it without
using like a phone stopwatch or something like
that
